Descriptions

Vulnerability in the Java SE, Java SE Embedded component of Oracle Java SE (subcomponent: Hotspot). Supported versions that are affected are Java SE: 7u121 and 8u112; Java SE Embedded: 8u111. Easily exploitable vulnerability allows unauthenticated attacker with network access via multiple protocols to compromise Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Successful attacks require human interaction from a person other than the attacker and while the vulnerability is in Java SE, Java SE Embedded, attacks may significantly impact additional products. Successful attacks of this vulnerability can result in takeover of Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Note: This vulnerability applies to Java deployments, typically in clients running sandboxed Java Web Start applications or sandboxed Java applets, that load and run untrusted code (e.g., code that comes from the internet) and rely on the Java sandbox for security. This vulnerability does not apply to Java deployments, typically in servers, that load and run only trusted code (e.g., code installed by an administrator). CVSS v3.0 Base Score 9.6 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts).

Vulnerabilidad en el componente Java SE, Java SE Embedded de Oracle Java SE (subcomponente: Hotspot). Versiones compatibles que están afectadas son Java SE: 7u121 y 8u112; Java SE Embedded: 8u111. Vulnerabilidad fácilmente explotable permite a un atacante no autenticado con acceso a la red a través de múltiples protocolos, comprometer Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Ataques exitosos requieren interacción humana de una persona distinta del atacante y mientras la vulnerabilidad esté en Java SE, Java SE Embedded, los ataques podrían afectar significativamente a productos adicionales. Ataques exitosos de esta vulnerabilidad pueden resultar en la toma de control de Java SE, Java SE Embedded. Nota: Esta vulnerabilidad aplica a implementaciones Java, normalmente en clientes que ejecutan aplicaciones Java Web Start o applets Java aisladas, que cargan y ejecutan código no confiable (e.j: Código procedente de internet) y depende del aislamiento de seguridad de Java. Esta vulnerabilidad no se aplica a implementaciones JAVA, normalmente en servidores, que cargan y ejecutan solo código de confianza (e.j: Código instalado por un administrador). CVSS v3.0 Base Score 9.6 (Impactos de Confidencialidad, Integridad y Disponibilidad).

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on vulnerable installations of Oracle Java. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
The specific flaw exists within the creation of an object without proper initialization. Due to this uninitialized memory, it is possible for untrusted code to gain access to privileged methods and properties. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to execute code under the context of the process.
